Rajneesh Quotes - Page 54

• Creativity has two possibilities. One is that it arises out of your silence, love, understanding, your clarity of vision, your intimate friendliness with existence - then creativity is healthy. But if it does not arise out of meditation, out of silence and peace and understanding and love, then there is a danger. It may be arising out of your confused mind. It may be arising out of your insanity.

  Rajneesh

  Confused, Creativity, Two

• Everybody is born with the capacity to enjoy, but not with the art. People think just because they are alive and they breathe and they exist, they know how to enjoy. That is sheer stupidity. Enjoyment is a great art, it is a great discipline. It is as subtle a discipline as music or poetry or painting. It is the greatest creativity.

  Rajneesh

  Art, Creativity, Thinking

  4 Copy quote

• God is nothing but creativity. So wherever there is a sign of creativity, God has a signature there. He has already been there. Maybe even the poet does not know, but he has been touched by something from the beyond.

  Rajneesh

  Creativity, Signatures, Doe

  7 Copy quote

• And then certainly, whatsoever you do - your character, your behaviour - is yours, authentically yours. It has your signature on it. Then you are not a carbon copy, you are original. The Zen people call it finding the original face.

  Rajneesh

  Character, People, Meditation

  4 Copy quote

• Beware of dreams! And watch your dreams day in, day out, because they are continuously there. You can watch them, and by watching them you will become unidentified with them, you will become a mirror reflecting them. And this brings great freedom. Freedom from dreams is freedom from the world.

  Rajneesh

  Dream, Freedom, Mirrors

  4 Copy quote

• There is no God, but there is certainly a quality I call godliness. It comprises compassion, love, friendship, joy, creativity. It brings you new songs, it brings you new dances. It brings you the truth, and the immersion of you into the truth.

  Rajneesh

  God, Song, Creativity

  10 Copy quote

• God cannot be found outside you, because there is no God who can ever be outside you. God is the ultimate fragrance of your consciousness. When your consciousness opens like a lotus, the fragrance that is released is God - better to call it godliness.

  Rajneesh

  God, Lotuses, Consciousness

  7 Copy quote

• All duality is a mind creation, all duality is created by the clinging and attached mind. When there is no attachment there is no duality.

  Rajneesh

  Attachment, Mind, Creation

  7 Copy quote

• When your desires drop, the world is there, but it is a totally new world. It is so fresh, it is so colorful, it is so beautiful! But a mind attached to things cannot see it because eyes are closed with attachment.

  Rajneesh

  Beautiful, Eye, Attachment

  4 Copy quote

• Take life easily, lovingly, playfully, non-seriously. Seriousness is a disease, the greatest disease of the soul and playfulness the greatest health.

  Rajneesh

  Love, Soul, Disease

• I am not a logician. I am an existentialist. I believe in this meaningless, beautiful chaos of existence, and I am ready to go with it wherever it leads.

  Rajneesh

• And that third dimension brings bliss. Bliss is without any opposite to it. It is serene, tranquil, cool. It is ecstasy without any excitement.

  Rajneesh

  Happiness, Opposites, Dimensions

  4 Copy quote

• The very idea that you can pursue happiness, that you can deserve it, that you can demand it, that you have the right to be happy, is foolish. Nobody has the right to be happy. You can be happy, but there is nothing like a right about it. And if you think that it is your right you will go on missing, because you have started to look in the wrong direction from the very beginning.

  Rajneesh

  Happiness, Thinking, Ideas

  4 Copy quote

• Marriage has become a battlefield where two persons are fighting for supremacy. Of course, the man has his own way: rough and more primitive. The woman has her own way: feminine, softer, a little more civilized, more subdued. But the situation is the same. Now psychologists are talking about marriage as an intimate enmity. And that's what it has proved to be. Two enemies are living together pretending to be in love, expecting the other to give love; and the same is being expected by the other. Nobody is ready to give - nobody has it. How can you give love if you don't have it?

  Rajneesh

  6 Copy quote

• Without marriage there will be no misery - and no laughter either. There will be so much silence...it will be Nirvana on the earth! Marriage keeps thousands of things going on: the religion, the state, the nations, the wars, the literature, the movies, the science; everything, in fact, depends on the institution of marriage.

  Rajneesh

  Marriage, Laughter, War

  5 Copy quote

• Marriage is a plastic flower - marriage is an institution. And who wants to live in an institution?

  Rajneesh

  Marriage, Flower, Want

  5 Copy quote

• Miss the present and you live in boredom. BE in the present and you will be surprised that there is no boredom at all. Start by looking around a little more like a child. Be a child again! That's what meditation is all about: being a child again - a rebirth, being innocent again, not-knowing.

  Rajneesh

  Children, Knowing, Boredom

  5 Copy quote

• Be a loving person rather than in a love relationship - because relationships happen one day and disappear another day. They are flowers; in the morning they bloom, by the evening they are gone.

  Rajneesh

  Relationship, Morning, Flower

  4 Copy quote

• Whatsoever you can be you are. There is no goal. And we are not going anywhere. We are simply celebrating here. Existence is not a journey, it is a celebration. Think of it as a celebration, as a delight, as a joy! Don't turn it into a suffering, don't turn it into a duty, a work. Let it be play.

  Rajneesh

  Journey, Thinking, Play

  4 Copy quote

• When a poet writes a poem, meaning arises - because the poet is not alone; he has created something. When a dancer dances, meaning arises. When a mother gives birth to a child, meaning arises. Left alone, cut off from everything else, isolated like an island, you are meaningless. Joined together you are meaningful. The bigger the whole, the bigger is the meaning.

  Rajneesh

  Motivational, Meaningful, Mother

  4 Copy quote

• All your seriousness is about sandcastles. And you yourself will leave them one day, trampling them down, and you will not look back. The people who take it seriously miss the beauty of playfulness.

  Rajneesh

  Beauty, People, Missing

  6 Copy quote

• Once you have tasted meditation, it is impossible for you
  to be in any misery. Bliss becomes inevitable.

  Rajneesh

  Meditation, Impossible, Misery

  4 Copy quote

• Life is not somewhere waiting for you, it is happening in you. It is not in the future as a goal to be arrived at, it is herenow, this very moment - in your breathing, circulating in your blood, beating in your heart. Whatsoever you are is your life, and if you start seeking meaning somewhere else, you will miss it. Man has done that for centuries.

  Rajneesh

  Life, Future, Heart

  4 Copy quote

• I am not interested in communicating something to you, I am interested in communion. Communication means my mind talking to your mind. Communion means I am not a mind, you are not a mind - just your heart melting into my heart, no words.

  Rajneesh

  Communication, Heart, Mean
